This site takes the place of the old one which was created, nurtured and maintained by Rauleigh Webb from the early days of the World Wide Web. After 20 odd years Rauleigh wanted a change. He still has lots of irons in the fire with OzCavers, ACMA, Map Library etc so he's not out to pasture yet. The old site can be found here http://old.wasg.org.au

This new site takes advantage of faster internet speeds so images are a bit bigger. Some of the old content has been brought over but some new content has already appeared. This site uses a content management system. The idea is to allow different people access into the site so they can create the content themselves (perhaps with assistance). The new site also uses a responsive framework - this means that it changes depending on the size of the screen so for a tablet the look and behaviour is different to that of a laptop or desktop computer.

This site is definitely going to be a group effort. I encourage you to show your trips, your ideas, your dreams.

The Organising Committee has been working hard to ensure this Congress will be a successful and memorable event. Details of pre and post Congress Field Excursions, along with information about the Congress itself, will be available next month in the 2nd Congress Circular which will be available from the Speleo 2017 website. This will also be emailed to all subscribers to the website’s mailing list https://www.speleo2017.com/Subscribe.html.
